My Top 9 Must-Have Items: Everything I Never Knew I Needed

You know that feeling when you find something that totally upgrades your life? Maybe it’s your favorite water bottle. The smartwatch that encourages you to take a walking break. The programmable coffee maker.

Well, thanks to Bespoke Post, I’m always finding must-haves that I just can’t imagine how I lived before without them. Seriously: a coffee-brewing alarm clock?! You’re going to want to check out my top nine favorite finds from Bespoke Post:

1. The perfect weekender bag for travel

I love to travel, whether it’s a quick day trip to wine country or a weekend getaway to SoCal. Finding this Canvas Weekender Bag ($75) on Bespoke Post made travel way more convenient for me. The bag is made from a thick, durable canvas, but the reinforced frame gives it structure to keep my things from jumbling together. There’s even a safe, interior pocket for my laptop to take work on the go.

2. A durable cooler for my outdoor adventures

I spend as much time as I can outside being active. While I love my time in nature, I don’t love that so many reliable coolers are so bulky and expensive. This Wren Insulated Dry Bag Cooler ($50) is not only extremely durable and holds plenty of snacks and drinks, but it’s also surprisingly light and easy to carry.

3. A sleek camp light to set a vibe

Early morning trips to the beach, late night hangs on the patio, long weekend camping trips — no matter the venue, I always bring my Hoto Camplight ($65) from Bespoke Post. It’s surprisingly attractive for a camp light, and I like that I can use it as a flashlight, camping light, or ambient light.

4. A handy survival kit for life in the great outdoors

Outdoor enthusiasts know it’s important to be prepared for anything. The Wren VSSL Outdoor Supplies Kit ($134) has given me major peace of mind and lightened up my pack by combining just about everything I could need into one military-grade aluminum canister. Seriously, there’s a compass, a fire-starting kit, a candle, bamboo cloths, an LED lantern, multipurpose tape, an emergency whistle, and more. I never leave for an outdoor trip without it.

5. A curved knife to upgrade my kitchen skills

I’m a huge foodie, so having this Burnt Bone & Carbon Steel Ulu Knife ($59) in my kitchen is a real treat. I can slice pizza or chop garlic like a pro chef. And honestly, the carbon steel blade with a burnt bone handle with the leather sheath just looks cool sitting on my kitchen counter.

6. A smoking and infusion kit for next-level cocktails

I love to get together with friends over food and drinks, and there’s something special about mixing up a cocktail for your loved ones. But now, I can make my drinks even more impressive with the Cocktail Smoking & Infusion Kit ($70). Unveiling the drink from the glass cloche always leaves my friends’ jaws dropped, plus I can use this kit for food too, like crème brûlée or crisped steak caps.

7. An alarm clock that wakes me up with freshly brewed coffee

I’ll never have to say, “Don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee,” again thanks to this Barisieur Coffee Alarm Clock ($350). I set my alarm, and it brews a fresh cup of coffee for me to wake up to. There’s even a Peltier cooler milk fridge to keep milk cold overnight. I can count on every morning being a good morning.

8. A hybrid backpack, chair, and cooler for beach hangs

When I hit the beach, I’m usually already lugging my surf gear. The last thing I want is to juggle multiple large items to chill on the beach after I hit the waves. The Backpack Cooler Chair ($70) has everything I need in a pack I can carry on my back. The fabric is durable and waterproof, and the interior is roomy, holding up to eight cans or two wine bottles or my lunch. It also zips out into a comfy chair.

9. The perfect hoodie to stay warm in the breezy Bay Area

I love the access to nature and amazing food that comes with living in the San Francisco Bay Area, but let’s be real: it can get pretty chilly and windy here! This 100% cotton The Breakers Beach Hoodie ($75) is not only soft and warm but the loopback fabric is also breathable and perfect for throwing on after a surf session.
